KANSAS WOMEN VOTING.

Curious Scenes Resulting from the Pres
ence Of Women At the Polls.
At the recent municipal election in Kan
sas women voted for the first time, and there
were some curious scenes. A Leavenworth
dispatch to the New York World says: The
purifying influence of woman's vote has
proven deplorable failure here. Its intro
duction has been disturbing element rather
than benefit. The women brought to bear
influence and pressure a. are sordid and cor
rupting as are those of the male machine.
Money has been used. Instead of lending q
refining atmosphere to the election the con-
test has simply developed to less admirable
qualities Of the gentle sex. The greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed among the women, who
were the first at the polls this morning.
Every available vehicle in the city was run
in charge of a female enthusiast. The
wealthy ladies in q fit of desperation placed
their private carriages at work. Early in the
day q stampede occurred in one ward owing
to the efforts of some women to influence the
vote Of another. The men quickly took part
in the discussion, and several knock-downs
occurred IN short order. The women fed
to vote. hWhat is the use in thisr' the hus.
band asked. I'VE are voting exactly oppo
site to each other and one vote Offsets the
other" They agreed not to vote and de-
parted with the understanding that they
were paired. In short time the woman re-
turned and deposited her vote alone. An
emphatic example of the disturbing iniiu-
ence ofythe new order of things was found in
the fact that the police were called upon to
interfere in dispute between husband and
wife, who began quarreling at the polls and
were about to come to blows.
AT Lawrence, where one-half the full reg
made against Baker, the Republican can
didate for mayor, on account Of his
acter, elected him by the largest majority
mayor ever received in Lawrence. Many
amusing incidents occurred. The white
women came In their own carriages, but the
cOl0red danes and damsels rode at the ex.
pense OF somebody in hacks and dressed in
their very best rigs.
AT Atchison woman who had voted fol-
the Republican mayor returned and asked
the judges II she could not have back the
ticket she had handed in, saying that she
had made mistake and wanted to vote fol-
the other man. Upon being informed that
1t was too Late to change her mind, she 20
cused the Judges and clerks Of still desirine
to opprees the women and deprive them o7
their rights. In some instances the ladies
delayed their lines by waiting until they
reached the voting window before preparing
their tickets, and then they discussed the
respective merits of the candidates with
those Of the judges with whom they wers
personally acquainted.

RHODE ISLANDS GOVERNOR.
The Man Who Led the Democrats .
Victory I'm the Midget State.

The Man Who Led the Democrats to
Victory in the Midget State.
John w. Davis, the Democratic candi-
date who was elected governor by the
recent political revolution in Rhode
Island, has been for many years engaged
in business in Providence and Pawtucket
as dealer in grain. Mr.. Davis was born
in Rehoboth, Mass, and came to Provi-
dence in 1874. He began business in
1850, and subsequently took his two
junior brothers in partnership. Later
he set up two nephews in business in
Madison, Wis. He has always been
Democrat and an active worker
in the party, but . not an office
seeker. He has repeatedly been elected
member of the Pawtucket Town Coun-
Gil, and was twice president of that
body. He was elected State senator in
1885 and 1885, resigning the Office in
October last, when appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland as appraiser Of foreign
merchandise for the district of Provi-
dence. He was an alternate delegate to
the Chicago convention that nominated
Cleveland, and has served on the Demo
cratic State Central Committee for a
long period. He is generally regarded as
straightforward, fair-minded, and
dignified gentleman, and has won the
respect and confidence of citizens irre-
spective of party afflliation. His admin.
istration will be undoubtedly marked by
conservatism, prudence and ability. He
is between 60 and 65 years of age, hale
and hearty, with q profusion Of gray
hair, in which is framed q face rejecting
geniality, intelligence and dignity His
figure is erect and commanding. He speaks
with fluency and marked originality,
and his utterances are forcible, express.
i've and fearless. Taken all in all, he is
q worthy representative of the "old
guard" Democracy of the State, and his
election is hailed with great enthusiasm
and unbounded satisfaction.

Mr.. Randall's district, as thus laid
out, contains nearly 10000 less popu--
tion than the average and $500 less
than an adjoining district that could
easily spare enough Republican votes
to overwhelm his majority.
The moral of the Western munic-
ipal elections is that any party that
cuddles Anarchists is doomed to de-.
feat Nothing has done more to-
harm the repute of Labor organize
tions than the association of them in
the public mind with Anarchism and
Socialism. In reality there is an ir-
repressible conflict between them, for
there is nothing that the Socialists
denounce more furiously than the.
principle Of self-help which is at the
foundation of Labor organizations.
Instead of the people supporting the
government their idea is that the
government should support the peo-,
pie. There is a prejudice in this
country in favor Of the American flag,
and in no people is it more intense.
than among the workingmen. At
the Knights of Labor Convention at;
Harrisburg, Grand Master Workman
Powderly took pains to express the
adherence Of genuine Labor leaders
for Anarchists, and waving the stars
and stripes from the platform cried
''There ID the flag that we owe our al
legiance to-" This is notice to the.
red dag bearers that have come to-
this country with proposals to over
throw our constitution before they.
understand the language that it is'
written in that they need not look for
recruits ffom among WorkinGmen.

do her the justice to say that It was in
many respects like genuine white and
civilized baby. 1t squalled like one. 1t
doubled up its little fists and then banged
its own nose with them, precisely as our
own babies do. But its face was so
thoroughly Chinese that If you did not
see the rest of the babe you could scarcely
tell whether 1t was fifteen months, fifteen
years or fifteen centuries of age. You
have observed this uncertainty in Chinese
physiognomies. An Irishman, after q
visit to our Chinese quarter, solemnly as
sured me that he had discovered why
there are O0,O00, 900 of people in China
"It's bekase they never die," said he

was Irish and buxom and rosy, and under
thirty in the barrain.)
II couldn't have got as good husband

she. He never beats me, he gives me all
want, he does me washing for me, he
gave me q silk dress when / was married,
and though it's little I understand of his
language know he is fond of me and
true to me, and thinks nothing is too good
for me. He brings other Cinnamon up
to see me and makes them jealous and
then he's happy"
Unfortunately, she got her husband

lover-like conduct on either of their parts.
